By Laurie Rappeport
A PDF(Portable Document Format) file refers to a file format created by Adobe Systems. The PDF file was created to allow users to transfer two-dimensional documents files more efficiently. PDF files can include text, graphics, images, and interactive links and buttons. Graphics designers appreciate the fact that PDF files can display on almost any application and any computer system. Users can download PDF files from the Internet or from an email. Downloading a PDF file necessitates an activated Adobe Acrobat Family software program pre-installed in the computer which will download the PDF file.

Click "Save File" on the pop-up window and wait for the Adobe Reader file to download. Choose the folder in which to download Adobe Acrobat. Click "Allow" when the pop-up window asks for permission to allow the program to make changes on the computer. Click "next" on all pop-up windows and click "Install". Allow the program to install.
